Council of Jamnia
The Council of Jamnia was a council held in 90AD, the significance of which is interpreted differently by Jewish scholars, Catholic scholars, and Protestant scholars.
Christian scholars often describe the Old Testament as being formally codified at this meeting, but Jewish scholars usually state that the canon was fixed long before this date. Protestant scholars do not consider the Apocrypha to be part of the bible, and use their interpretation of this council as justification.
